If you find one you would like to share please foward to me ASAP so that it can be added. Remember that you can also talk to your doctor, dentist, vet, pharmacist etc... about job shadowing as well. 2013 Summer Pre-Medicine / Health Fellowship Application: Please open the document below and save it using your first and last name. At the bottom of the page insert a page break and write a 1 page personal statement / essay stating why they want to participate.
